LAS VEGAS — Wabco, a global supplier of technologies designed to improve the safety, efficiency and connectivity of commercial vehicles, showcased its advanced aftermarket solutions for distributors, workshops and fleet operators at the 2018 Heavy Duty Aftermarket Week (HDAW) here late last month.

Included at the show was the launch of Wabco’s new spare parts brand call ProVia.

With the recent acquisitions of RH Sheppard and Meritor Wabco, Wabco continues to expand its North American portfolio of solutions to more effectively serve its distributor, workshop and fleet customers, according to Abe Aon, North America sales leader, aftermarket. This includes a broader offering of Wabco products and diagnostic solutions, as well as growth of its already extensive remanufacturing offerings. Wabco now provides remanufacturing services and aftermarket sales support for Sheppard’s industry-leading power-steering gears. In addition, the company continues to grow its distribution network and enhance its customer proximity in North America.

As part of its drive to broaden its wide-ranging product portfolio, Aon said Wabco would premiere its differentiating budget spare parts brand ProVia at HDAW to better serve the North American marketplace.

“ProVia parts are specifically engineered to provide reliable performance and are manufactured to industry-leading standards,” Aon said. “ProVia helps customers to bridge the gap between parts of questionable origin and premium aftermarket parts, striking a powerful balance between safety, reliability and cost.”
